It’s a hard knock life, Miles.

Little Orphange Miles. He’s going to wish he was parentless.

Sounds like Krystal’s made sure to school Kevin on the vital importance of proper color identification. (I have red-headed siblings and have never had to classify past red.)

if Miles doesn’t dye the red wig black, he could pass for a pipsqueek Dennis rodman

Speaking of bad ideas, that wig is one of those!

Don’t lie about the wig, or there will be hell toupé.

I don’t get why people call orange hair, “red". It’s orange, not red.

Not anymore Miles. She used to have red hair, but it switched to orange a while ago.

This was set in the ‘80s, right? Otherwise, I’ve seen red hair on various races in the current time in which we now live.

Oh this could never go wrong in any way

Nah, no one will notice.

Burnt orange hair? Krystal is a UT fan?

My oldest has auburn like her dad. I am a strawberry blonde as is my youngest. When she was 6 the hair-dresser told her she had such beautiful red hair. Courtney exclaimed indignantly, “I am a strawberry blonde!” Both of the girls have bone straight hair which is weird. My husband has waves and I have curls with enough wave that it falls in ringlets. Growing up I usually got people calling me Shirley Temple. Annie wasn’t a big deal until I was 12 and the Carol Burnette musical came out. Even though I was the same age as the character I looked like I was in my 20s, so nobody called me that. The fact that Annie had that God-awful fire engine red is one of many reason I’m glad to not have that shade. I also have no freckles. Another thing I am thankful for. I am extremely pale, but aside from a few on my arms I never had to deal with them.

Being a ginger myself, I’d call that color more of a brick-red

In Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.” Morgan le Fay sentences a man to her dungeon and has him psychologically tortured because he said she had red hair. According to the Yankee , “When red-headed people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.”
